:::I've been wondering the same thing. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] ([[User talk:Jcordell|talk]]) 21:01, 5 April 2020 (EDT)
At the ''[[John Carter (2012)|John Carter]]'' movie, most Tharks (Green Martian clan) use Thark Martian rifles. Of course, it was futurised guns, but, after closing inspection of the original movie props, I notice, that's this futusistic rifles were made from [[Tanegashima]]s (of course, a modern replicas). For proving this guess, I made a photoshoping compilation of the movie props and modern Tanegashima replica. So, I guess, that's useful to ID the gun as Tanegashma.

:: On that first screencap.. I agree on the Blackhawk ID. The center two revolvers are stainless S&Ws. That said, I believe the center one is a smaller K-frame gun - likely a long-barrel (8 3/8") [[Smith & Wesson Model 66|Model 66]], while the one next to it is a larger N-frame - likely a Model 629. Next to it looks like a Model 29 with 8 3/8 barrel. Can't quite make out the revolvers at the top or the far left. <BR> The second screencap, only one I can make out is the stainless one, which looks to be a full-lug [[Smith & Wesson Model 686]] (though it looks to be lacking both sights for some reason.. I suppose it ''could'' be the fixed-sight [[Smith & Wesson Model 681|Model 681]]). <BR> Fourth screencap the one laying on the counter on the right is a S&W Model 586. Fifth screencap shows a couple of 3rd Gen S&W automatics. All-in-all looks like on giant S&W ad to me, lolz (not that there's anything wrong with that).

== Mysterious Revolver ==
== Blue Muzzle Flashes ==
This is very similar to the 1st gen [[Colt ds|Colt DS]], but has a high rear sight, and a cylinder swing-out to the right side (although this is - perhaps - a consequence of the mirroring of the scene). Does anyone have any idea what this might be? --[[User:Slon95|Slon95]] ([[User talk:Slon95|talk]]) 11:34, 29 February 2020 (EST)
Something I have noticed with classic action films, mostly within the 80's era, is that a lot of muzzle flashes appear more blue than yellow. Did this have something to do with the type of blanks/props that were being used back then, or was this just a result of 1980's cinematography? --[[User:Theakker3|Theakker3]] ([[User talk:Theakker3|talk]]) 12:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

I was just wondering if this 'series' qualified for a template? There's a lot missing from IMFDB on it (I've been trying to source good DVD copies of the individual TV parts to get screencaps), and I'm planning to tackle the 1995 movie ''Lupin III: Farewell to Nostradamus'' next, but it looks like there's already five titles here. I think even if it doesn't qualify for a template, a disambiguation would be perfectly alright.
== Monsters vs Aliens? ==
Oh, and also, should we universalize which form of 'Lupin III' we're going with? Currently we have pages with "Lupin III", "Lupin the Third", and "Lupin the 3rd"!

==We Happy Few==
Sorry to bother, but I would like to know if the video game ''We Happy Few'' is eligible for a page. It's not a shooter game, but it does feature a few actual firearms/weapons. Here are some images: <br>
*https://ibb.co/XZb08MJ
*https://ibb.co/G95rGm6
*https://ibb.co/MhM0bMP
*https://ibb.co/xspMzP8
A [[Lee-Enfield]] rifle with a bayonet. The rifle is never actually fired, but it is a very common sight in the game and its model is in great detail.
*https://ibb.co/jytrNQw
*https://ibb.co/yRgVH1F
*https://ibb.co/vDXDbwV
*https://ibb.co/njFCD9s
Heavily modified Lee-Enfield rifles turned into electrical weapons, "Battle Prods".
*https://ibb.co/WxQw03G
A tear gas grenade apparently based on the [[Model 7290 flashbang grenade]].
*https://ibb.co/x3kYndb
The cannon of a German WWII-era tank (though I don't know what model the cannon or the tank are).
*https://ibb.co/fqpspBq
A statue of a Napoleonic-era cannon. A plaque beneath it says it is a "Blomfield 9-pounder", but I'm not sure if that is accurate.
*https://ibb.co/tKpS0kd
A bundle of plastic explosives (I don't think they count but I added anyway for the sake of completeness).<br>
I will leave the final decision to the admins. Moreover, I would like to apologize for my behavior seen on threads above (and probably elsewhere on the site). I'm just an inexperienced new user, not admin, and the way I gave my "permission" for creating pages was deeply presumptuous, stupid and cringeworthy of me since I didn't really had a say on the matter. Anyway, thanks in advance. --[[User:Dan San|Dan San]] ([[User talk:Dan San|talk]]) 20:33, 23 August 2020 (EDT)
:Certainly seems worthwhile, though I'm not an authority on the matter. If nothing else, I'm curious as to how the Hell the "Battle Prod" is supposed to work without electrocuting anybody that thinks about it too hard.

::Some weapons in the game are indeed very peculiar. Except when they are just a stone taped to a stick, for example. --[[User:Dan San|Dan San]] ([[User talk:Dan San|talk]]) 09:45, 24 August 2020 (EDT)
:::The tank looks like a Tiger II with a 8.8cm Pak 43, although tanks and tank cannons aren't really listed typically except for trivia purposes. Unless there are more firearm models (I'd assume a Webley would be in this game somewhere) there probably aren't enough entries to make the cut. You can always start a talk page for the game, too.--[[User:AgentGumby|AgentGumby]] ([[User talk:AgentGumby|talk]]) 09:55, 24 August 2020 (EDT)
::::Sadly there are no Webley revolvers to be seen in the game. I don't think there are any other firearms other than those I've listed. I'm about to finish the game again, I'll give another look around and see if I can find anything else. --[[User:Dan San|Dan San]] ([[User talk:Dan San|talk]]) 11:52, 24 August 2020 (EDT)
Yeah. I just double-checked. There really aren't other firearms in the game. But the few that are featured are quite prominent. The Lee-Enfield alone appears as an usable weapon, in the hands of many soldiers and in monuments. And there are also many other pages in IMFDB that list only one or two guns. Again, I'll leave the final say to the admins... --[[User:Dan San|Dan San]] ([[User talk:Dan San|talk]]) 00:07, 30 August 2020 (EDT)
== Shotgun Pistol ==
Should there be a separate category for this? People (logically) think of them as pistols, but technically they're still shotguns. We are talking about such guns as Howdah, which are for shooting with buckshot, and not just smooth-bore (flintlock, etc.) --[[User:Slon95|Slon95]] ([[User talk:Slon95|talk]]) 07:43, 4 September 2020 (EDT)
:Is there anything other than the Howdah? --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 11:05, 4 September 2020 (EDT)
::Calling Howdah a shotgun pistol hardly would be correct, as this gun was used for shooting bullets or slugs in case of smoothbores, not buckshot. --[[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 11:47, 4 September 2020 (EDT)

== Need help with Identification some guns ==
All guns in the '''''Alita: Battle Angel''''' movie had appears rather futuristic, but, maybe it's a real firearms, dressed as future weapons, as it often present in the science-fiction medias, like Star Wars series. However, I couldn't found any information about it. So, I had upload this screenshots to the [[Alita: Battle Angel|talk page]]. If anyone can prove or disprove my guess, this talk page will be moved to main page or deleted.

I guess, I made ID of Thark Rifle in John Carter movie
At the John Carter movie, most Tharks (Green Martian clan) use Thark Martian rifles. Of course, it was futurised guns, but, after closing inspection of the original movie props, I notice, that's this futusistic rifles were made from Tanegashimas (of course, a modern replicas). For proving this guess, I made a photoshoping compilation of the movie props and modern Tanegashima replica. So, I guess, that's useful to ID the gun as Tanegashma.

Error creating thumbnail: File missingA photoshoping compilation of the movie props and modern Tanegashima replica. The serpent for the match and closing powderbox (1), which is almost similar on the Tanegashima and Thark rifle. The pistol-grip buttstock (2) which is also almost similar. Of course, the movie prop is equipped with some part of other guns (percussion hammer) as well as some junks, to look more futuristic, as well, it's sawn in half, but the basing gun is Tanegashima.
Smiling Friends page?
The western animation series Smiling Friends has quite a few realistically-drawn firearms which I documented on my sandbox here. I would just like to know if the show qualifies for a page on this site. --Dnkakusei (talk) 13:47, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Blue Muzzle Flashes
Something I have noticed with classic action films, mostly within the 80's era, is that a lot of muzzle flashes appear more blue than yellow. Did this have something to do with the type of blanks/props that were being used back then, or was this just a result of 1980's cinematography? --Theakker3 (talk) 12:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
Should we add a page about Monsters vs Aliens, the movie has some detailed guns like the M4 Carbine
Prodigal Son - Season 2, Unknown semi-auto pistol
I believe have a positive ID on the "unknown" semi-auto pistol listed for Prodigal Son - Season 2.
I requested an account specifically to help with this ID but I don't understand how to correctly add this info
If someone could vet this and add it, I'd appreciate it!
Prodigal Son - S02E10, "Exit Strategy". At approx 34m:30s, Felix (spoiler: Clayton Fielder's twin) climbs a staircase while brandishing, then racking, a silver-tone semi-auto I identify as a TriStar P-120 (CZ75 clone). It's later seen several times from virtually every conceivable angle starting around 38:10.
I checked it and I think you're right, so I did make all the necessary changes. By the way, don't forget to put your nickname and time in all discussions using 4 "~" at the end of each post. Pustelga7 (talk) 15:30, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Stunt/action choreography for a director's page
On the page for stunt choreographer and two-time film director Kensuke Sonomura, I've added a list of films and games that he contributed stunt direction and choreography to. I'm planning on fully adding these productions to his category, but I was told to ask an admin first because stunt coordination is a pretty niche credit, however I believe that these productions should be added to his category as stunt and action sequences are vital and important parts of these films and games. Is it safe to add the pages? --Dnkakusei (talk) 12:50, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
Firearm citations without screen grabs?
I am new here, and I have not seen any guidelines about whether it's okay to cite a firearm in a movie listing without an associated screen grab. Is it better to have a weapon identified, even without a photo? ... or is it really better to make sure that each citation includes corresponding screen grabs? --226X5-9-TAC (talk) 23:02, 15 December 2023 (UTC).
First off, welcome aboard. As for your question, if it's a pre-existing page, then pointing out a specific gun that doesn't already have a screencap is fine, as long as you're specific about when and where it appears (though having a screencap is always preferable). If it's for a page that doesn't exist yet, we'd prefer not - we have an excess of pages without screencaps as-is. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 23:43, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
Identifying revolver
What type of revolver is this? Film is from 1938. Theakker3 (talk) 17:55, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
Not really a detailed enough shot to tell much. Appears to be a mid-size, .38 or therabouts. Ejector rod looks rather long which makes me think it has a socket, which would make it a S&W. If so, likely a Military & Police model. StanTheMan (talk) 17:30, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
NCIS Sydney
Should I wait until the episode/s airing in Australia in the last few weeks this month are accessible in Canada/US next month (January 2024) before screencapping, even though the show's backed by CBS and Paramount Plus? Ominae (talk) 10:05, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
